Synonyms Ready, Easy; disposed, apt, expert, handy, skilful, clever, smart; expeditious, unhesitating. So many of the meanings of ready convey the idea of a movement of mind, and especially a consent of the will, that there is a tendency to use other words where disposition is not included. Hence it is better to say this may easily be seen, than this may readily be seen. See quotation from Locke under readily. Easy of approach; easy to be done; ready to hear. All the senses of ready, active or passive, growout of that of being prepared.

n. Ready money; cash: usually with the definite article.

n. The condition of being ready.

n. The position of a soldier's weapon following the command “Make ready!” or “Ready!”

To make ready; put into proper condition or order; dispose; arrange; prepare.
